WEDGITS are WONDERFUL !!
By Grandma Cooking Teacher
We purchased both the Explorer Pak and the Expansion Combo for our 5 grandsons aged 17months to 9years. What a delight to see how much all of them enjoyed this terrific toy! We also bought the Wedgits design cards, but the older boys learned so quickly that they were doing advanced designs within hours. We also bought a large, sturdy plastic crate at the hardware store in which to put ALL of the pieces so none get lost or broken. They totally love this set and our son and daughter-in-law think it may be the best gift the children have ever received. I purchased all three of the design card sets from Starter to Advanced. Then I punched a hole in the upper left corner, threaded each card on to a keyring wire loop, by difficulty level, then put all of Starter set's 4 level packets on an easy-to-open ring. I repeated this for the main card set and the advanced, then put all of the card sets neatly in a sturdy metal box. The boys can all work at the same time on a different set of cards without squabbling and when finished, the cards go back in the box in the Wedgits chest for another day. Though the boys can easily make their own creations, the cards are actually very good because it gives them practice in following a visual design/directions after analyzing which pieces are used to exactly duplicate the card picture. I take their picture with their creation sometimes so they can see how happy they were to complete one challenging design before the pieces get taken apart and remade into something else. We'll probably buy them more pieces for future gifts. We are so tired of children's breaking flimsy toys or getting bored with stupid, non-interesting electronic toys. We're firm believers in letting children think, use their imagination, and create with "old-fashioned" but wonderfully educational toys. Wedgits are not old fashioned, but better than even what was available years ago. Every family should have some. Our grandsons love having their daddy (a lawyer) or grandpa (an engineer) build with them on the floor. We love Amazon and appreciate the wonderful products they make available for good prices, too!

By xstitchgarden
My 2 1/2 and 5 year old children love the wedgits. I got my daughter the deluxe set for Christmas and they would both fight over who could build things with the pieces so that is why we got my son the larger set for his birthday a month later. They take this toy out almost every day and love to build pyramids, towers and other shapes. The toy is well made and there are lots of creative things the kids can do with it. I would recommend getting a set of cards with examples of how to build the larger designs since the books that the item comes with are mostly basic designs.

By Linda Richards
My son is almost 4 and he loves stacking these geometric shapes and making unusual towers and creations. My husband even invented a game by stacking several of the larger pieces and then doing a race to see how many of the small white pieces can be put in the structure in a minute. This is fun for young and old alike.
